The Chronic Live transforms Dr. Dre's legendary production catalog into a full orchestral experience. This isn't a DJ set or a tribute band—it's a 16-piece ensemble featuring live strings, horns, and a complete rhythm section backing four professional vocalists and rappers.

What Sets This Show Apart:
This production has earned endorsements from artists who performed on the original recordings. Rapper Xzibit, who appears on "What's the Difference" alongside Eminem and Dr. Dre, has publicly endorsed the show and expressed interest in joining performances. The orchestral arrangements maintain the raw energy of hip-hop while showcasing the sophisticated musicianship behind Dr. Dre's production.
The show appeals to multiple demographics: traditional hip-hop fans who grew up with these tracks, younger audiences discovering the music through orchestral interpretation, and classical music patrons interested in crossover programming.
Following Daft Punk's 2021 retirement, One More Time offers the only live performance experience of their catalog. This 16-piece orchestral ensemble transforms electronic masterpieces into organic, acoustic arrangements that celebrate the French duo's musical legacy.

Market Positioning:
Daft Punk's retirement created a unique scarcity opportunity. Fans who never saw the duo perform live—and those who did—now have only one way to experience this music in a concert setting. The orchestral arrangement reveals the sophisticated composition behind tracks that originally relied on synthesizers and samplers, offering a completely different listening experience that complements rather than replaces the studio recordings.
The show has particular appeal in markets with strong electronic music scenes (Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto) but also succeeds in secondary markets where Daft Punk's broad mainstream appeal (thanks to "Get Lucky" and their Grammy wins) draws curious general audiences.

Yes. The most successful model is a Friday/Saturday pairing: The Chronic Live on Friday, One More Time on Saturday. This allows marketing efficiencies (shared ad spend, cross-promotion) and reduces travel/accommodation costs. Approximately 15% of audiences attend both shows.
While we've performed in venues ranging from 400 to 2,500 capacity, the economic sweet spot is 800-1,500 seats. Smaller venues can work in high-ticket-price markets or with corporate sponsorship support.
Yes, with proper production support. Outdoor shows require weather contingency planning, enhanced PA systems, and typically higher production fees due to additional equipment and crew needs.
Ideal booking window is 6-9 months in advance, though we've successfully executed shows with 8-week lead times in the right circumstances. Earlier booking allows optimal marketing cycles and route coordination with other venues.
All musicians and crew are flexible regarding venue-specific health and safety requirements. We maintain up-to-date vaccination records and can provide rapid testing if required.
Core setlists are fixed to maintain production values and rehearsal efficiency, but we can accommodate 1-2 regional requests if given adequate advance notice (4+ weeks). For example, adding a locally significant track or featuring a regional artist as a guest.
